EXPLANATION OF PLATE, NO. 2. ARTIFICIAL FLIES. 



THE SECOND PLATE shows six artificial representations of 

 the flies in the first Plate. The spectator will recognise a like- 

 ness in all of them, except in the second, the wings of which 

 are too upright. In the water, however, those wings will lie 

 flat. As artificial flies they are good models. In the palmer, 

 No. 6, there is a slight defect near the bend of the hook. The 

 fibres of the hackle-feather are not there divided with suffi- 

 cient regularity. The palmer is made just as the fly No. 3 

 on the third Plate is made, except that there is neither tail 

 nor wings.
